Toyosi, the evicted Big Brother Naija Season 9 housemate, has described her partner, Damilola, as “selfish.”
The Tami duo got brutally honest with each other on the latest episode of ‘Hero’s Therapy’ hosted by media personality, Hero Daniels.
Toyosi: “It has always been about you, you wanting me to do something, you don’t want to pursue your relationship with somebody because of me.
“The whole time, I don’t think Dami has thought about how I’ve felt or how I really feel. It has just been about her feelings. Dami has just done things for herself. When the whole thing [love triangle with Topher] started, she didn’t consider how I would feel about anything. It was her feelings. She thinks, she thinks, she thinks. Which to me is selfish.”
Dami: “I think we should just have a space. I think that’s better.”
Toyosi: “I didn’t know that she would bring this up here.”
Dami: “Mehn, I never knew I was going to bring this up here. Have your space as much as you want, I’m just gonna leave you.”
Toyosi: “This is what I’m saying.”
Dami: “What are you saying?”
Toyosi: “Don’t make me feel bad. I didn’t make you feel bad when you were feeling yourself.”
Dami: “How am I making you feel bad?”
Toyosi: “The way you are talking, Dami.”
Dami: “How am I supposed to talk?”
Toyosi: “In a more understanding way. You’re not being understanding.”
Daily Post reports that Tami pair were the first to be evicted from the Big Brother house this season last Sunday.
Anthony Ebuka Victor, the famous Nigerian musician, who is popularly known as Victony, has spoken about his rap inspirations.
The music star, who started his career as a rapper before switching to other genres, said his hip-hop inspirations include global heavyweights like Kendrick Lamar, Drake, J.Cole, and Meek Mill, and his compatriots MI Abaga, Odumodublvck and Shallipopi.
Speaking in a recent interview with Sway Universe, Victony said: “I started [my career] as a rapper. I really looked up to Kendrick Lamar earlier in my career because of his artistry. Kendrick is that one rapper who is not just about what he says but also his visualisation and the way he presents it to his fans. That made me a strong fan of Kendrick.
“I also likes Drake because of his flexibility. He’s one of the first Americans to hop on the Afrobeats wave. I was a fan of Drake before that. Obviously, I listened to J.Cole as well. I listened to some Meek Mill.
“MI Abaga inspires me too, because he was one of the rappers that popularised the genre in Nigeria and made young artists believed it was possible to be successful as a rapper in the country. Now, we have the likes of Odumodublvck and Shallipopi. Odumodublvck just did his US tour. Rap is becoming big in Nigeria. Sometimes, I blend it with afrobeats.”
Victony said he’s also hoping to inspire other Nigerian children to achieve their dreams.
“I am doing this for Doyin. I am doing this for the kids in Ojo. I hope that they look at me and get inspired,” he said.
Samuel Chukwueze, the Nigerian winger, has revealed the reason behind his decision to snub a move to Saudi Arabia last summer.
Chukwueze was approached by a number of clubs in the Asian country after the end of the 2022/23 season.
The 25-year-old however decided against accepting the tempting offer despite plea fron his manager.
Instead, the talented winger joined Serie A giants, AC Milan ending his five-year stay with LaLiga club, Villarreal.
“If money were a problem, I would have signed in Saudi Arabia. They wanted me a year ago,” the 25-year-old was quoted by Football Italia.
”My mind was set only on Milan. My agent told me, ‘Hey, look, there’s this money…’ But I said no: ‘I don’t want to go anywhere else.’
“So he gave up. If that money comes, it comes. The most important thing now is to believe in myself; I’m still young, I want to make it, I need to stay in Europe.”
Chukwueze scored once in 24 league appearances for AC Milan last season.
The world-famous Afrobeats sensation, Rema, has spoken up about competing with Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy — Nigeria’s biggest three artistes.
In a recent interview on the GRM Daily, the ‘Calm Down’ hitmaker stressed that he is unbothered by their opinions of him because they are not his priority.
Rema claimed “I did not know Wizkid, Davido and Burna Boy five years ago” and that he saw no reason to prioritise them.
The award-winning singer also blamed fans who “make it seem like any move we make is competition”.
“I do not want to praise myself. Everyone who has met me has been super respectful. In the game, people act crazy. It is okay to take bullsh*t or overlook,” he said.
“We are all human beings. But one thing I always want. I always tell my boys that five years ago, I did not know these dudes. My colleagues literally. So why would they be my priority? Why would I wake up and say this move I am about to make will compete with them? Or we go show them? Why would they ever be my priority?
“It is always the fanbase making it seem like any move we make is competition. But, when I put it in terms of lyricism, I always want to keep the sport going. We have lyrics where Davido will be like ‘I’m bigger than all of them’ or Wizkid’s ‘Dem sey dem bad I swear dem do nothing or eh’. All to keep the sport going. We keep it the Ronaldo, the LeBron way. When we are in the match, it is war, outside of the match, it is love.”
In April, Rema claimed that music labels are “attempting to clone me” — implying that some record labels are trying to model their artistes after him.
The Afrobeats star also argued that most artistes have used him as a template since he came to the limelight in 2019.
The ‘Calm Down’ hitmaker declared that he is officially on par with the ‘Big Three’.

The husband of actress Regina Daniels, in a statement on Friday in Abuja, said that the reports were entirely false and malicious.

“I am taking immediate legal action against those spreading these falsehoods. Arrests will be made, and anyone involved should be prepared to face the consequences.
“This is not a matter of influence; it is about holding those responsible accountable for their harmful actions.”

“If you are involved in these activities, expect to face legal repercussions without delay.”
